Caprona is a nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.

  • The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
  • As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
  • It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Akuusir Subsector of Dark Nebula Sector.


Description / Astrography & Planetology[edit]

History & Background / Dossier[edit]

Solomani Security keeps a close eye on things to ensure the security of the Confederation and the well-being of its loyal citizens. The worlds of this subsector are still in the process of assimilation into Confederation society, and are often indifferent or hostile to the central authority. Almost anyone could be a SolSec informant, passing on all sorts of useful information: some gain a reward or benefit for their actions, others are coerced, and some see it as an act of duty to help protect the Solomani state and its interests.

  • Local tribal disputes are complex and long-simmering, often causing problems for Confederation officials.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Caprona has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Population (P)[edit]

Caprona has a population of 30,000 sophonts (tens of thousands).

  • This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

World Demographics[edit]

World Languages[edit]

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Caprona possesses a Technology Level of TL–5.

World Government (G)[edit]

Caprona has no central government or substantial government apparatus; an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.

World Law (L)[edit]

Caprona has a moderate law level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. Light assault weapons, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Timeline[edit]

  • 1037: A conference of activists draft and sign the Akuusir Charter, which asserts that because the Akuusir Cluster had been originally colonised by Solomani, the worlds rightfully belong to the Confederation.
    • The Charter includes a mutual defence agreement and several resolutions, including petitioning the Secretariat for admission
  • 1041: Satwor becomes a member of the Solomani Confederation, beginning the rapid absorption of other Cluster worlds.
    • The cluster annexation is denounced by powerful Aslan clans and imposes a significant burden on district and regional resources.
